Without driving yourself—something not recommended to visitors to Sri Lanka—visiting Dambulla, Sigiriya, and Minneriya National Park in a day from Kandy is impossible. This private tour makes it easy: with a personal driver-guide to explain the sights and scenery, and comfortable private minivan transport. Explore Dambulla’s icon-filled caves, view Sigiriya rocktop ruins, and enjoy a 4x4 safari to see Minneriya’s elephants or a local village tour.

You will be picked the hotel you stay (Recommended 0730AM After breakfast) and drive to Sigiriya. Proceed to climb Sigiriya Rock fortress. It will take around 3 Hours to climb the rock and come back. Pidurangala rock climb can be done after that and it's optional.

After that we can take you to a local restaurant for lunch / refreshments etc.

You will be driven to the starting point of the Safari tour. For that we have to change to a 4WD drive / Off road vehicle. There will be arrange officer joining us for the tour who knows the jungle better and always will explain things and animals throughout the tour. Village Tour first in a Bullock Cart is an optional item for those who do not want to go for the Safari tour. Then in a canoe to a village Hut. You can see the way the village cooking is done and sample a humble village Lunch of Rice and Curry. En-route visit Dambulla Rock Cave Temple. Dambulla Rock Temple houses some of the unique drawings in magnificently constructed 5cave temples flanking the golden temple of Dambulla.

We have not included the cost for entrance tickets to the Sigiriya Rock, Minneriya National Park, Cost for the Safari Jeep and the Entrance fee for the Dambulla Cave Temple. This will give the guests an option to pay and take the entrance tickets at the each point. Which will avoid unnecessarily paying money in advance for an event you might not experience.

The day started with us getting up for 6.30am which was meant to be the pick up time however the guide was a no show so we called the company, they said he would be there at 07.00am but again he was a no show,...More
